How can I read that OSS ticket? I thought it was a note, but it refers to anything else .

Hi Martin,

The system only allows someone to access oss tickets of their own company. Heidi was referring to the oss ticket, Oliver had created.

Anyway, the response was that web browsers don't transmit the windows user name for security reasons. In general, the windows user name should not be trusted and should not be used for authentication purposes inside of a SAP system. Nonetheless, using Single Sign On, there might be a slim chance to develop something that connects a SAP user with a windows user.

Hi,

do you mean the system user as in AS-ABAP system? Have you tried using the sy-uname system variable?

Hello Heidi,

no i mean the user of the operating system:

e.g.:

Running WD Abap appl. in intranet environment, base OS is Win XP so i wanna know the nt-user.
